I can't comment on DTube...

in dtube •  7 years ago 

I just joined the DTube page and I have no issue with uploading a video neither with upvoting another one work.

I can write a comment but the "Add a comment" button doesn't work.

Do you know a solution or is it a common bug?

I kinda solved it? I just spam clicked the "add a comment" button and the area around it and it worked, after 50 clicks.

It must be a common bug because I read the comments and someone said their comment turned up after a while.

Sorry if I hammered a bunch of repeat posts because of this issue. Thanks for the smartphone workaround. :)

This however is my first Steemit reply and commenting seems to work fine here, just not DTube.

Had the same issue, then a bit later I've noticed that the comment has appeared anyway. Seems to be a bit buggy.

I found a workaround. The comments still don't appear if I write them on my PC, but it work flawlessly when I use my smartphone.

I think you might be right. I posted a video three times and didn't even know it. Very buggy DTune is or, very busy. \o/

Same for me! I have tried it with extensions on and off but it doesn't work! I suspect it might have to do with the fact that I first logged into DTube today.

I'm having this issue too. Pretty frustrating. I joined Steemit last week i think but today was the first day i tried to post a comment on dtube. Do you need to be a user for a certain length of time before you can post.

yeah I have the same problem. So annoying!

Has anybody found a solution to this?

nope but i have the same issue

Login into Dtube via a smartphone it works flawlessly there in my situation. It just won't work on PC

I was thinking the same thing. But I guess everything is still in Beta version

Our systems are having a similar problem. When trying to add a comment on Dtube, the comment shows up as "Undefined DTube". It's challenging to spread love and harmony when the capability to express becomes limited. Lots of love to everyone!

having the same issue - it might be Brave Browser related (or are you using a different browser?)

I'm having that issue in both Brave and Chrome here.

I found a workaround. The comments still don't appear if I write them on my PC, but it work flawlessly when I use my smartphone.

I have the same problem. I guess duh right. But I would expect that a simple function like adding a comment would work. Its a basic function on the net. But i will see how long its gonna take... ugh.

I'm feeling like we are still in the 90's.

Commenting should work, really no excuse.

It's a pain to do, but you can look up the video on Steemit and comment through Steemit rather than DTube.

I'm having that issue too myself. And that's the best work-around I've found.

Also using Chrome's Inspector's mobile simulation, I can make a comment. I noticed people were saying they could make a comment on a smartphone. Well if you want to do it on the desktop, that's another way to do it.

I'm having this problem. I'm going to try using the mobile simulator next time.

Edit: I tried the simulator in dev tools on Chrome. Still couldn't comment on DTube.

Did you refresh and try it again? I forgot to mention that part.

I am noticing sometimes it takes me a few clicks. Or maybe I should wait a moment and it'll process. I'm not sure which.

I found another workaround. The comments don't appear if I write them on my PC, but it work flawlessly when I use my smartphone.

And if you don't have a "smartphone"?

I have been doing the same, still no love from dtube.

After talking with people in the DTube discord, I found out for me, it was a Google Chrome extension that was preventing me from commenting. If you're using Chrome, I would try disabling extensions one by one until you find out what is conflicting DTube.

Thanks for the reply. Will try that, even though I'm using Firefox.

BTW, you might want to go on the DTube discord and go to the #help channel. and they would be glad to help. They would be far more knowledgeable about the issues. https://discord.gg/G3b5J3

Ah, ok. I'm not sure what might be causing it in Firefox, but I hope it was a step in the right direction.

It's still happening it seems. I've just joined Steemit and dtube and migrating across from YouTube. If you open Chrome console it shows errors after you click the "add a comment" button. I'm wondering if anyone has notified the devs / raised support ticket? seems like a pretty big issue considering the platform is designed for content creation. Hoping this gets fixed as it could be a great platform.

yep still happens, vivaldi here, turned off ublock also just to be sure. just sits there with spinning circle. dtube has a long way to go before it comes close to attracting yt users over. like where is large view mode (not broken full screen).

Is it possible to edit an already posted comment on DTube?

SOLUTION:
I had the same problem in PC with google chrome.
The solution, change the browser web navigator.
If you use Microsoft EDGE browser on PC, works.
If you use mobile device, works.

Can't comment or reply either, tried different browsers.
Are they required to save the comment in the blockchain before they show it?
That seems to be the case for votes, which seems like a really poor user experience to me.
Why don't they just send the message and show it locally to indicate the message has been sent.
You can always confirm that it was accepted by the blockchain later.
